Just got my hands on a pair of Cleto Reyes gloves

I never figured CR made gloves with the velcro straps. I'd only seen them properly equipped with laces. Same with Winning and Grant.
How's the stitching work and padding? Is the wrist support firm?
They look awesome :good

 

Know a few guys we train with that have hurt their hands in them - if you have had any history of hand issues, be prepared to break out some epson salt!

 

I have those in white...once you break them in they are great

 

Ive considered getting reyes myself please let me know how they are! i'd like a full review!

 

Yep same^

 

I used a pair of their laceups for bagwork...Huge hand pocket but I put sponges under my wraps so it was awesome. They tend to land squarely on the bag. Tough to explain but you know what I mean if you've used them.

 

ive been out injured now for over a year with my wrist as they still aint got to the bottom of my injury. i put it down to having little hands that could not with stand my punching power. stupid i know but i had reyes gloves and they were not the gloves for weaker hands.

 

That's the question to ask. :good

I have a white pair of Velcro 8oz I use on the pads. I love the way they feel, but they are definitely not as supported as my other gloves in the wrist area. My wrist on occasion rolls very easily in these gloves. Mine are only 8oz but the padding isn't as dense as other gloves and I find they are not as durable in general. The leather is beautifully soft but that means it scars and breaks down pretty quick. I can't imagine using them on a bag if the wrist support is the same on a pair of 14s and I imagine the leather wont last so long with regular use on the bag.

I'm a Muay Thai guy so in the past have used Twins alot but tend to use Boon most of the time these days (beautiful gloves!), but i just love the way the Reyes feel on the pads. They tend to mould to my hands really well, you can feel the quality, but other gloves are definitely more durable and better supported.

 

I got these in white and 18oz (I'm a heavyweight 6'5", 242lbs / 1m95, 110kg).

I got them about 2 months ago and train with them 3-4 times a week. They replaced my Everlast Protex2 sparring gloves ( as they fell apart after 7 months :-( ).

Anyways the protection is good enough for me (expected a bit more from 18oz gloves) and have a lot less complaints from my sparring partners now (wore 16oz previously).

I like that it has an elastic band inside that keeps the glove tight around the wrist/palm area.

Stitching etc. looks good and the leather looks great as well (especially in white).

The only negative so far is that the goat leather smell makes me nauseous when I shell up.

 

Cleto Reyes the shape,weight distribution & feel are rated more as a punchers glove always have been.That is to fight with they fit very tight & mould around the knuckle.

Not so much so on general bag work & may well have a shorter shelf life usage wise than other similar price range gloves.It obviously depends on weight of glove you buy & purpose.Top quality glove.

they're great gloves, only problem i have is that my 12oz feel a bit heavier than my other 14oz's. I think it's because of the wrist padding.
